The Caol Ila 2010 TFWC Marsala is a limited edition Islay malt whisky, with only 325 bottles released. This whisky is a collaboration between the bold and powerful character of Islay whisky, made from peated barley, and the sweet and fruity charm of Marsala wine from Sicily. The unique casks used for aging this whisky are made with a combination of first fill bourbon barrels from American white oak and unused Limousin barrels from French oak. The Marsala wine contributes to the final blend.
The nose of this whisky is strong and complex, with aromas of smoked ham and maple syrup, combined with nutty confectionery. The coastal, citrus, and peat smoke notes add depth to the bouquet. On the palate, the whisky is both smoky and sweet, reminiscent of a beachside BBQ and candied apples. The flavors of peat and salty sea breeze are complemented by citrus fruits and a hint of medicinal notes. The powerful finish, with its high alcohol content, delivers notes of grilled meat and honeydew melon.
This whisky is part of a series of single cask whiskies from Scotland, curated by industry legend Mike Collings. Collings has been involved in many notable whisky projects, including Cardhu, Royal Lochnagar, Flora & Fauna, and Johnnie Walker Blue Label or Green Label. With the Caol Ila 2010 TFWC Marsala and other single cask releases, Collings showcases his creativity by combining specially selected casks and specially layered distillates from wine barrels. This whisky is free from chill filtration and added coloring.
